Psalmorum 45
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1In finem, filiis Core, pro arcanis. Psalmus.
1My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2[Deus noster refugium et virtus; adjutor in tribulationibus quæ invenerunt nos nimis.
2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra, et transferentur montes in cor maris.
3Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4Sonuerunt, et turbatæ sunt aquæ eorum; conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine ejus.
4And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5Fluminis impetus lætificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus.
5Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king’s enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6Deus in medio ejus, non commovebitur; adjuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo.
6Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7Conturbatæ sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
7Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
8Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.
8All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
9Venite, et videte opera Domini, quæ posuit prodigia super terram,
9Kings’ daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
10auferens bella usque ad finem terræ. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma, et scuta comburet igni.
10Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house;
11Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus; exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra.
11So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.
12Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob.]
12And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.
